    I am a cub leader with two boys in our troop. First and third year. We have been building cars for three years now and have always been the fasts. This year my oldest followed your book and built his own car, I helped with the axle machining. My youngest and I worked together on his car, and of course mine. We have always had fast cars this year we were untouchable. I always rewarding to see the boys putting that much effort into something and achieve their goals. Thanks for

    I purchased the Winning Secrets book for my son and I to learn. Last night was our first derby. We also purchased the lathed wheels, graphite axels and graphite with moly additive. He made it to the finals and finished 2nd Place in his division out of 32 cars. He also won 1st Place for best design and walked away with 1 Big Smile and 2 trophies for a great first experience. Thanks for your help. Great information, especially for a beginner. Your "secrets" produced great speed with a car designed for looks.

    PRO Driller Tool Praise
    I had been using a different tool for hole drilling and found it was loose on some of the standard BSA blocks. I was having to insert a feeler gauge to take up the space or the tool would turn slightly and the holes would be crooked. At least one car I helped make performed poorly because of this. The Pro Driller allows a tight fit on all blocks and precise axle drilling. Also using the 43 bit mades axle installs so much easier.

    Overall, I really liked your manual. Even though I put under Cons the personal stories, it defenitely made it alot easier to read. The elaboration of your experiences made me want to go through the same thing with my son. The only reason I put it under Cons is because it makes it a little harder to look up if I just want to get to the point. I found my self having to highlight pertinent tips you had so I can find it later. Having said that, your manual was great. Thanks

My Mom and I were beaming with happiness for my Son. I can't even put into words how excited, proud and happy he was each time his car won. As soon as he got home, he ran up stairs to his room, to put him trophy of his shelf. I will defiantly be buying from here again for our next race. Worth every penny, plus more.

    Derby Secrets It's a Winner
    I helped my grandsons build there 1st car with the help of Durby Secrets. WOW! So many little details that make a huge difference to the speed of the car! I only used about two thirds of the secrets that were in the book, but the proof is in the pudding. They both won every heat they raced in except when they ran against each other. First race was a dead tie. 2nd race my youngest grandson took 1st place and the oldest took 2nd. Now it?s off to the district races at Mall of America. The smiles on their faces are priceless holding their trophy?s. I would have paid three times the cost of the book if I knew this was the end results, Thank You Pinewood Pro!!

    Suggest some re-ordering of the ideas to line up more sequentially to how you build a car, eg, all the wheel ideas together. Little wordy at times-some content can be tightened up. Overall, though, very helpful document.

    I downloaded the book because I havn't touched a pinewood car in 25 years. The tips and tricks are easy to follow and they produce results. My Lion scout took 1st place in his age group and 5th overall. I also purchased the Nyoil2 lube and the car actually got faster with every run.

    Very helpful for those just starting PWD. I only wish I could afford all the author's products. They are tailor made for a specific application, which is what tools are all about. He does offer alternatives to his products first. Aside from cramming more demo pics, I recommend this book to all Cub Scout families as a reference.

    This is our first year in Cub scouts, and the Pinewood Derby. I downloaded this book and we came in 2nd place. If it was not for the book helping us, we would not have known how to do anything.

    Investment is PRICELESS
    I purchased this book thinking, what do I have to lose? It was only a couple of bucks and I might learn a thing or two. Well I tell you what, I learned an incredible amount. Me being a father and notso- handy with tools or with many skills, this book was great. My son placed 1st in his Cub Scout den and was Grand Champion of our pack of almost 60 boys. We race District tomorrow, we will see how we fare against 85 racers. The look on his face when he got the two trophies was worth a million dollars!!

    2 Nights before start 3rd place
    I found this 2 nights before. We did the body work and got the weights the first night to weigh in. Then morning of race took the car to work and used my dremel with a felt wheel to run the wheels and axles with graphite and to debur the axles. My son won 3rd place in his category. Total time invested approx 2.5 hours including reading book and all prep work.

    Great tips in this book. This was our first year and my son was the overall district winner. There were 200 to 250 racers at the district race so I'm guessing we have something like 750 to 1,000 scouts total in our district. With that type of competition you need these tips to be competitive.

    Book along with wheels and axles
    This has been a huge resource to me, this was our first and I really wanted my son to do as much as possible, but quickly found out during the race that it was pretty much the dads engineering the cars. We tied for 2nd with 3 other cars, and ended up 4th place, we did not win a trophy, so next time around I bought the book and will be sure I make my sons car as fast as possible, would love for him to win, but really just want him to place and win a trophy. Also noticed a couple kids that got really upset because their car got hung up on the raised center under the car. So all bottom weights need to be recessed.

    Last year we built my Sons car with no help on our won and had a very slow car. This Year we read the Derby Secrets book and after reading the Derby secrets we incorporated what we learned into building my sons Deby Car. My son not only won the enire Pinewood Derby , but won every heat he was in by a large margin, and set the track record. Way To Go Pinwood Pro....Thanks Joe.

    the best read
    I had never helped or build a pinewood car. My son had his first ever race coming up and I decided to educate myself. Came across the pinewood pro website, ordered the book (e download) and my son won his first race, fastest car, the winner. Thanks

    This book is a must have and the only one you need.
    This was our very first Pinewood Derby race. Our car won first place in the rank and second place in the pack. We lost to second place by 7/1000 of a second. We would have won had we followed instructions to extend the wheels base. The books is so great in its clear instructions. It's all you need. You do not need to surf the net and waste your time. It's the only book you need.

    Thank you for this incredible book! This was our first year to participate in the Pinewood Derby so we had no clue what to do. We followed the easy tips and advice given in this book and, WOW! Both of my sons came in FIRST PLACE in their dens and one of them placed 2nd in the pack! We're off to districts next month! Thank you.

    Good information
    Good basic information to make your Scout competitive. Be sure to check the rules of your particular race as some of these secrets are disallowed in some races.
